1Hydra

For a completely different experience, Hydra offers a charming and timeless atmosphere that feels like stepping back in time. This island in the Saronic Gulf is unique in that no cars or motor vehicles are allowed—transportation is done on foot, by donkey, or by boat. The result is an island that has maintained its old-world charm, with stunning stone mansions, narrow cobblestone streets, and a beautiful harbor lined with cafes and boutiques.

Sailing to Hydra allows you to experience its tranquil beauty away from the more commercialized Greek islands. The island’s coastline offers several hidden coves with crystal-clear waters, perfect for a peaceful swim or a relaxing day on deck. One of the best places to drop anchor is Mandraki Bay, a secluded spot with calm waters and fantastic views.

Hydra is also known for its vibrant artistic scene, with many galleries showcasing works from Greek and international artists. The island has long been a retreat for writers, musicians, and creatives, adding to its unique charm. For a romantic and laid-back atmosphere, Hydra is an unparalleled choice on a yacht charter.
